Clearly the FSLN is preparing itself for a post-Somoza political stage, which now appears to be forthcoming. The FSLN runs the risk of being gravely weakened as a political force in that stage unless it secures the right to build a political apparatus (as it already has in the universities) capable of affecting state power and thereby addressing the aspirations of the masses that the FSLN, more than any other movement in Nicaragua, represents. Such an apparatus would translate the popular following of the front into a mass political organization capable of achieving victory through a free electoral process...
CLARE, 16, having run away from home, met a pimp along Minneapolis' Hennepin Avenue and moved in with him. He persuaded her to hit the streets.

(Cultural note: vibrators seem to have no shock value now, unless you drop one in the bath water, but they do provoke widespread guffaws of recognition...
...whip up that enthusiasm, Akers stresses "positive attitude" and "personal accountability," and went so far as to import a hypnotherapist from Seattle to instruct the Longhorns in "deep relaxation and positive suggestion which eliminates the negative." Says Akers: "The players are committed. You don't come to Texas unless you're a competitor and committed. Mental concentration, though, is harder than physical preparation." As his players looked on first with awe, then growing respect, Akers and his assistants put in grueling 14-hour days. Their dedication proved contagious.
